I need some info on the PS/2 Model 30.  A friend has one but the
machine is about 1400 miles away so I can't go look to get some simple
information.  Any answers would be greatly appreciated!


Is it a 80286-based machine?
ISA or MCA (or no) slots?
Can an external hard disk be added to existing controller(s) or is a
new HD controller card required?

The friend has a Model 30 bought about 4 years ago, with two floppy
drives and now wants to upgrade it to a hard disk version.  If you've
done this or know how I would be very grateful.

thanks in advance,
